“It was phenomenal,” junior offensive and defensive lineman Ronald Custis said. “You can’t even describe him, honestly. He can do it all.”

Bey’s work for Winslow – now 3-4 and still alive for a postseason spot – earned him honors as Courier-Post/Gridiron Gang Player of the Week.

His 41-yard touchdown run jumpstarted the Eagles.

“I saw they covered our receivers very well,” Bey explained. “I stepped up in the pocket and saw that (running back Cameron Osbourne) was blocking in front of me.

“I looked at him. He looked at me. I said, ‘We out,’ and it was a touchdown.”

Bey got out and on the path to a must-have victory. His message to Osbourne in the heat of action, another example of his role as a leader. The directive through action resembles, “follow me.”

That maturation’s evidenced by his role as a captain. A straight-A student, the 16-year-old is also attentive to study of the game.

His second touchdown of the night proved such mental grasp. Prior to a 53-yard strike to Isaiah Shaw, Bey saw what he’d seen the Pioneers do in a freshman game the day before.

“Pre-read, I knew watching the freshman game sometimes they would go Cover-Zero, leaving the post open,” the signal caller recalled. “So, before I even snapped the ball, I saw that their safety wasn’t there. I knew my outside guy Isaiah was doing a post and that was going to be wide open.”

The deep ball is a weapon for Bey, who claims his wing’s launched passes at least 60 yards before.

Natural skills were always there. He began his time as a quarterback at the 105-pound midget level. Blessed with 4.7-second, 40-yard dash speed, Bey’s strengths as a dual-threat were obvious.

Last season, he became starter late in the season when coach Kemp Carr observed dedication that warranted first-string.

“A lot of people wanted Dru to the be the quarterback early on but I wanted him to mature so we could get these results,” Carr said. “When I thought he was ready and mature enough, I threw him to the wolves the last two or three games last year.

“He became more serious about the game. The kid gave up playing basketball to work on his true craft which he’ll definitely go to school for and not play one red cent.”

Although Winslow struggled early this campaign, the offense remained a strength. Bey’s at the center of that. He’s thrown for 1,736 yards and 15 touchdowns with a passer rating of 129.5.

On the ground, he’s added 408 yards and six scores. Four of the Eagles’ contests ended with 100-yard Bey rushing totals.
